You take Maharat Road out of Krabi Town up to the crossing with Highway H4. Turn right. At the next traffic light turn left, the road sign shows you the way. After about 2 kilometers Wat Tham Sua is on your left. Beware of the many monkeys that are eager to steal things from you. Do not feed them or try to pet them they easily become aggressive. The fit travelers can now climb up  1,272 uneven steps up to the temple at the summit. Alternatively there is a flight of steps just behind the Chinese Pagoda, these will take you into a small valley where you can admire 100 years old trees and the lush rainforest with its inhabitants. Small huts along the way serve the monks as meditation points.


Wat Tham Sua (Tiger Cave) (Wat Tham Sua (Tiger Cave)) (Krabi)

Wat Tham Sua is also known as Tiger Cave. Inside the cave there are what appears to be tiger paw prints in the stone. It's situated in the middle of a lush forest with enormous and ancient trees.

The surrounding area is covered with large trees most of them hundreds of years old, particularly in the Khiriwong Valley. Mountains are on all sides and there are many smaller caves. Walk straight through and take the steps to your left, opposite the white Buddha statue. The main tourist attraction in the temple complex is the 1,272 step climb up a limestone mountain to see the footprint of the Buddha. Even if you are in good shape the heat and humidity make this a difficult hike. Once you make it to the top, you are rewarded with stunning 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside and the Andaman Sea.

Wat Tham Sua is 9 km. north of Krabi Town.


Krabi

From Wat Tham Sua go back to the small main road and turn left. After about 5 kilometers you can see the sign Khanom Bencha Resort. This unique resort embedded in nature is worth a visit. Why not  have something in their restaurant and enjoy the beauty of nature. The restaurant is closed between 14.00 and 17.00.
